DAILY MAGICKAL APPLICATIONS FOR MONDAY
Monday is named after the moon. The Latin term for Monday is Dies Lunae (“moon’s day”); in the Old English language, this day was Monandaeg; in Greek, it was Hermera Selenes. All of these different names and languages translate to the same thing: the “day of the moon.”
Working with the different phases of the moon is an important skill that takes a bit of time for Witches to learn. So why not cut to the chase and experiment with the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon in all of its magickal energies and aspects?
Magickally, Monday encourages the lunar energies of inspiration, illusion, prophetic dreams, emotions, psychic abilities, travel, women’s mysteries, and fertility.

This day of the week is dedicated to the moon and all of her magic and mystery. Mondays are for women’s mysteries, illusion, prophetic dreaming, emotions, travel, and fertility.

*Getting outside and looking for the moon in the heavens. Sit under her light and absorb a little glamour. Call on the moon goddess Selene for practical help in magical issues.
*Invoking the god Thoth for wisdom and insight

Monday is ruled by the moon – an ancient symbol of mystery and peace. Monday is a special day for mothers as the cycle of the moon has long been associated with the female menstrual cycle. Those wishing to conceive a baby would be wise to try on a Monday as the magic of motherhood is strong and pregnancy is in the air.
This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving agriculture, animals, female fertility, messages, reconciliation’s, theft, voyages, dreams, emotions, clairvoyance, home, family, medicine, cooking, personality, merchandising, psychic work, Faerie magic, and Goddess rituals.

Monday is the day of the moon itself, and it’s a day that’s connected to lunar colors like silver, white, or even a pale blue. Metals and gemstones like silver, pearl, opal and moonstone all come into play today.
There are plenty of deities associated with the moon – Thoth and Diana for instance – and herbal correspondences include many members of the mint family. Utilize wintergreen or peppermint, as well as catnip, comfrey, sage and chamomile in your workings.
When it comes to Monday magic, because of that lunar connection, it’s a good time to focus on workings related to childbearing and family life, purity and virginity, healing, wisdom, and intuition. Do a little bit of self exploration and work on developing your intuition – learn to trust your gut. Celebrate birth and life, and make some magic to fix what is broken.

Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.
So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.
Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

Monday is ruled by the moon. Magical work planned for a Monday should involve aspects of the Goddess and any rites to honor her. In Wicca, the phases of the moon are revered as natural symbols of the different phases of womanhood. Spells and rituals invoking change are appropriate for a Monday. The moon rules the tides, so spells involving water are also appropriate for this time. Think of purification and cleansing work that you may need to do. Even consecrating your chalice would be an appropriate work for a Monday. Meditate on the aspects of the Greek maiden huntress, Artemis, twin sister of Apollo, or on her Roman counterpart, Diana of the silver bow. The lunar energy will bless your work if you acknowledge it correctly.

Tabuleiros Festival (Portugal)
AKERBELTZ
Themes: Harvest; Charity; Health; Thankfulness; Beauty; Peace
Symbols: Rainbows; Health and Healing Amulets
About Akerbeltz: This Basque goddess attends the human body by protecting it from disease, encouraging health, and offering healing when needed, especially when we overdo summer activities! Being a goddess of earth and nature too, she sometimes appears as a rainbow, a bridge that takes us from being under the weather to overcoming circumstances.
To Do Today: The Tabuleiros has been celebrated for six hundred years in Portugal by honoring the harvest, giving thanks to the goddess for her providence, and making donations to charitable organizations. The highlight of the day is a parade in which people wear huge headdresses covered with bread, flowers, and doves—symbols of Akerbeltz’s continued sustenance, beauty, and peace. These are retained by the wearer through the year to keep Akerbeltz close by, warding off sickness. A simpler approach for us might be to get a small rainbow refrigerator magnet or window piece that reflects this goddess’s beauty throughout our home to keep everyone therein well and content.
Also, give a little something to someone in need today. Doing good deeds for others pleases Akerbeltz because it makes them healthier in spirit. She will bless you for your efforts with improved well-being, if only that of the heart.

Celtic Tree Month of Tinne(Holly) – July 8 – August 4. Holly, an evergreen plant reminds us all year long about the immortality of nature. The Holly moon was called Tinne, pronounced chihnn-uh, by the Celts, who knew the potent Holly was a symbol of masculine energy and firmness. The ancients used the wood of the Holly in the construction of weapons, but also in protective magic.

Brilliant Jupiter remains a beacon in the western sky after sunset. It appears nearly 20° high an hour after sunset and doesn’t dip below the horizon until nearly 11 p.m. local daylight time. Jupiter shines at magnitude –1.8 against the backdrop of southern Leo the Lion. The giant planet appears equally dazzling through a telescope, which reveals a wealth of atmospheric features on a disk that spans 33″.

Come, I will sing it in your ear:
Your dancing days are come.
All the feeling you hold dear
Will lift your spirit some;
Dance until the rosey dawn
All in a gay, glad rag.
I carry the Sun in a golden cup,
The Moon in a silver bag.
And I will sing you merrily
Into my ring of dooms,
And I will twine into your hair
A wreath of maiden blooms.
You’ll turn, when dancing days wane low
To Crone, but not to Hag.
I carry the Sun in a golden cup,
The Moon in a silver bag.
As Maiden grows to Mother,
And Mother into Crone,
Dance, My darling daughter,
Beneath My rounded Moon.
Dance in argent splendor
Until your spirits flag.
I carry the Sun in a golden cup,
The Moon in a silver bag.

The completely feminine counterpart to The Magician, the High Priestess is the Gatekeeper of the subconscious, the unknown. She travels in worlds which most of us only glimpse in our dreams. Her realm is that of unseen truths, untapped potentials, and hidden dangers. The Calling of The High Priestess is to go beyond the obvious and visible to tap those powers which are veiled from normal vision. While she is passive by nature, she has the power to uncover unknown potential and is very aware of the infinite potential all humans harbor within them. She is also very patient. She can wait for events to blossom in their own time.
We see a more serious side of life while the Moon moves through calculating Capricorn. Our determination to reach a goal can turn obsessive when the Moon joins unrelenting Pluto later in the day. Although a fantasy-prone Sun-Neptune alignment distracts us with figments of our own imaginations, common sense comes through in the end as a realistic Mercury-Saturn trine reminds us that sticking to the facts creates the most reliable path to success.
You believe you can accomplish anything once you set your mind to it today. Although your imagination may run amok, you’re able to harness the power of your ideas as the clarity of your thoughts increases throughout the day. If you feel hyperactive, consciously slowing down your thinking process adds to your productivity. There is work to be done now, and if you focus your mental energy you’ll surely achieve more than you once thought possible. Every success story starts with the decision to try.
You are inspired to work hard today in order to reach your dreams. In fact, you may become singularly focused on proving how serious you can be when it comes to achieving your goals. Mercury’s easy trine to steadfast Saturn encourages you to communicate in a very matter-of-fact manner, helping you to regain any credibility that you recently lost. Just remember that you can’t build a solid reputation on your promises, so get busy before it’s too late. Actions speak louder than words.
You can discuss delicate matters skillfully today thanks to a winning combination of compassion and tact. An emotionally sensitive Sun-Neptune alignment softens your heart, enabling you to empathize with others. Mental Mercury forms a favorable trine to steady Saturn, helping you bring a vague hope or dream down to earth with a perfect balance between inspiration and practicality. Hold the vision; trust the process.
Channeling your artistic creativity into something tangible isn’t easy as the moody Cancer Sun conspires with imaginative Neptune. Fortunately, you can rely on strategic thinking and your well-honed skills to capitalize on even your most whimsical thoughts. But don’t expect your visions to materialize on their own. Sharing your best ideas with someone you trust is a good first step toward manifesting your dreams. Intention plus hard work equals magic.
It’s confusing when facts and fiction become so entangled that you can’t tell which is which. Your dreams are powerfully vivid now as the Sun shines upon otherworldly Neptune. But it’s easier to face the truth while interactive Mercury in your sign trines no-nonsense Saturn. Fortunately, you have a solid grasp on both reality and fantasy that you can use to your advantage. Utilizing your imagination empowers you to take your knowledge to the next level.
You are more confident of your decisions when you’re able to trust your senses. However, you also receive excellent information today directly from your intuition. Don’t discard the wisdom that comes through images and symbols, even if there’s no logic to it. It doesn’t matter if you can’t easily explain how you arrive at your conclusion; ultimately, savvy Mercury’s supportive trine with solid Saturn roots you in reality.
You must act with full honesty and integrity today, or you could become lost in your own dreams. Fortunately, a smoothly flowing trine between clever Mercury and karmic Saturn enables you to navigate the uncertain realms between your imagination and reality. Stretch your perspective to understand how your friends think, but don’t lose sight of your own core values. As the Dalai Lama teaches, “Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.”
Call on your persistence and ingenuity today to turn an elusive dream into reality. Your psychic powers are operating at high volume, but it’s difficult to know how much your intuitive voice should be trusted. Fortunately, a solid trine between cerebral Mercury and systematic Saturn motivates you to unpack the complexity of an issue and drill down to the source. Imagination and common sense work hand-in-hand now. Your unflappable determination will all but ensure your success.
Your logic won’t steer you wrong today as long as you start out with valid assumptions. Unfortunately, you could jump to an erroneous conclusion if you let your current desires influence your long-term thinking. Fortunately, clever Mercury’s favorable aspect with reliable Saturn strengthens your organizational skills and inspires you to create an ambitious plan that can lead you boldly into the future. Proper preparation prevents poor performance.
You don’t need the recognition for your work today; completing your tasks on time is its own sweet reward. However, you won’t be as effective if you try to remain a solo act. You could receive additional support and useful ideas from your friends and coworkers when intelligent Mercury trines constructive Saturn. Thankfully, the combination of solid thinking and clear communication helps you manage the complexity of a project so too many cooks don’t spoil the broth.
If you’re stuck in a jam today, it makes sense to pursue all forms of communication as a ticket to your escape. But don’t let the potential of a Mercury-Saturn trine go to waste when you could be reinforcing your plans for the stressful days ahead. Thankfully, others will hear your message loud and clear if you take the risk and share what’s on your mind. Open your heart; you never know who you are inspiring with your random acts of vulnerability.
Although you might be placed in a leadership position today, you could run the emotional gamut from conflict to contentment. You can state your needs and prove your worth convincingly because others believe what you say while stable Saturn harmoniously trines messenger Mercury. It may be difficult at times to focus on the necessary details, but you’re capable of overcoming your tendency to scatter your attention by consciously listening and speaking clearly to avoid wasting time and energy. Communication is a two-way street.

You are versatile and clever enough to wrap your brain around virtually anything you want to understand. You are an odd mix of progressive and traditional, as you can certainly identify injustices and root for the underdog, but you can be very stubborn in your own ways of thinking, balking at change just for the sake of change. You are extraordinarily intelligent and a fascinating conversationalist. You see things through.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:
Uranus transits square to your Sun this year. With this aspect, any situations that you have felt to be limiting of your freedom will be hard for you to accept any longer. You might experiment with a new look or manner, or simply come off in an entirely new way as you feel your life speeding up. You are not dwelling on the past, and instead, you are interested most in what the future might bring. In the process, you could resent others if they seem to be telling you what to do or think, and you are not especially receptive to good advice. There may be some confrontation with friends, a boss, or a partner that prompts a breaking of ties. Remember that you may be reacting to a bruised ego and you may not be in touch with your deeper feelings before making permanent decisions. It’s possible that you need to move on, but do take the time to make decisions wisely. You might be tempted to throw out practical or traditional considerations for more exciting or stimulating plans. Unexpected changes in plans or events are likely. Although they might be unsettling at times, they could stimulate you to try new approaches, and they certainly act to cut boredom. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious. This can be a strong year for artists and for developing skills and talents, particularly along creative lines.
Chiron concurrently transits in harmony with your Sun, however, and this supports you and helps to keep you humble. Projecting yourself with self-respect benefits you. You are especially appealing and charming just by being yourself. Opportunities—both personal and professional—are likely to present themselves as a result. Teaching others may be part of the picture, informally or formally.
Despite personal changes this year, certain elements of your social life and financial life are stabilized, secured, and more reliable. You may solidify a romantic relationship or become involved with a mature partner. Circumstances may be such that you need to handle money more carefully this year, or this may simply come naturally to you now. Support from older people or authority figures may come by way of solid advice or tangible help. Renewed ties to old friends are possible, or a new sense of responsibility in existing friendships.
The year is strong for physical therapy and healing, as well as for having a real sense of mission.
While you can be a little impulsive at times, you aim to be very diplomatic when dealing with others this year. You are not afraid of competition, and can, in fact, find some competitiveness stimulating and motivating, but you tend to achieve much through cooperation. If you can learn to curb your impulsiveness, your insight can be a true asset.
This can be a year in which you are a little bolder, more assertive, and energetic. You are especially interested in setting goals and challenges for yourself this year, and taking the necessary action to meet them. You may meet or interact with others who encourage or inspire you in some way to have more confidence in yourself.
You often have a way with words this year, and verbalizing your feelings can be enjoyable. You can handle people well, and negotiations are favored in general. This can be a good year for dabbling in the arts, furthering a creative hobby or craft, and exploring new artistic interests.
Also, watch for impatience or fits of temper that work against you this year. There may be changes in work schedules, or life’s circumstances could challenge you in such a way that you need to change your goals or actions. This can also be a time when you tend to resist others and challenge them if they are trying to hold you back. Energy fluctuates this year. If you can avoid rash or impulsive moves, you could enjoy more courage than usual to do things that break the routine or clear the air.
Your unique manner of expressing and asserting yourself is in focus and appreciated this year. Suppressed anger is more effectively released in creative ways. Physical healing can help inner healing, and vice versa.
Advances in intellectual and mental pursuits are likely, as you make steady progress that has long-lasting results. It’s a good year in which to get organized, do detail work, and prepare for the future. Work done during this period in your life will have tangible results in the future. Relationships with younger people in your life are solidified.
You might surprise people with the changes you make this year, as they may seem sudden or out of character. You are making bolder moves than usual and you’re unusually resilient. You stand out as particularly personable and talented. Love and social matters can be more reliable and steady. New and exciting experiences are likely, but energy can fluctuate, and impulsive moves should be watched for. This is a strong year for making solid progress in projects or studies.
2016 is a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It is a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are able to attract others, and material things as well, this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.
2017 will be a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.

Aries
This morning can be powerful for activities that promote physical and emotional healing, dear Aries. Opening up about a personal or intimate matter can be especially rewarding. Ceres moves out of your sign today, and while it will return in retrograde motion in mid-October, you can nevertheless benefit from improved practical intelligence as well as a holistic and intuitive perspective to your work and finances now. This is a strong period for tending to your valuables and prized possessions, as well as for saving and stocking up on what you need. Of course, you’ll want to watch for the tendency to hang on to things you no longer need. Even so, this is a good time for discovering those things you value most. The Moon’s position in your sector of spirit until mid-afternoon encourages you to get out and about, after which you’re likely to focus on putting your life into better order.
Taurus
This morning is strong for connecting with others intuitively as well as for sincerity in relationships, dear Taurus. Social activities can be reinforcing and pleasing. Helping out a friend or acquaintance can give you a real boost. This is a good time to bond, but it’s also helpful to maturely deal with occasional moments of emotional distance — accepting some ups and downs is an important key to healthy relating. A cycle that begins today places a strong emphasis on nurture and care. Lasting until mid-October, this period promotes interest in taking care of others and yourself. People may be seeking you out for support, comfort, and help under this influence, and you quite readily take the lead. Others are seeing you as especially strong and caring. While you may need to draw up some boundaries if this goes too far, generally speaking, this is a good time for positive body image and personal appeal. Today, the Moon moves into your sector of spirit mid-afternoon, promoting a more involved, active, and open approach to your world.
Gemini
This morning, warm connections can be made, dear Gemini. Your dreams and visions can inspire you to work on a pet project or to improve your feelings of security and well-being. A cycle that begins today and runs until mid-October promotes the seeking of comfort and nourishment from some form of retreat — time to yourself to reflect, process, and digest recent events. It’s a good time to dig deep in order to better understand your needs for nurture. For some, this process is turned outwards as you are called upon to support and nurture others. This is also a strong cycle for learning how to use solitude and private time to your advantage and to promote improved mental health. This is a wonderful time for forgiving people and situations from your past, which facilitate emotional healing. Today’s Moon transits, however, can emphasize the need for companionship. Your sleuthing skills are top-notch this afternoon.
Cancer
You’re inclined to focus on the “little things” that need attention, dear Cancer, with the Moon continuing its transit of your solar house of habits and details until mid-afternoon. This morning, you’re also in strong shape for gentle challenges. You are especially enterprising and pioneering now. You might come up with an exciting new idea for a new and exciting venture. Motivation to get things done is powerful. Later today, the desire for companionship tends to take over. With Ceres moving into your solar eleventh house today, you begin a strong cycle for seeking out emotional nourishment through group and friend associations. This is also a time when nurturing a dream, hope or wish can be especially exciting. You may be establishing or strengthening connections to groups or causes, looking to friendships for a sense of belonging, and nurturing connections so that they’ll grow and flourish.
Leo
You approach touchy or complicated subjects with bravery today, dear Leo. Intimate relationships can thrive now. The Moon continues its transit of your creative sector until mid-afternoon, after which you might find that taking care of business satisfies you most. Idling about could, in fact, make you nervous! Also today, a new cycle begins in which you are likely to seek nourishment and emotional satisfaction from your career, responsibilities, or public standing. This cycle that lasts until mid-October stimulates your ambitions and is strong for paying special attention to your work or business. You might enjoy adding flourishes and creative touches to the work you do. You might find yourself taking the lead or mentoring others. You are a particularly good manager at this time.
Virgo
Conversations can be very useful and revealing today, dear Virgo. You might even discover that writing, whether private or shared, helps you feel better. A feeling of closeness, with your own heart or with someone special, is likely to figure strongly now. The Moon continues to transit your home and family sector until mid-afternoon, after which you’re in a more outgoing, generous, and affectionate frame of mind. Also today, a new cycle begins that encourages you to enjoy adventurous, non-routine activities. It lasts until mid-October and is good for nurturing your sense of adventure, whether this is about broadening your mental or physical horizons. Learning new things, taking trips, or seeking out new adventures can be activities that help you to feel stronger and happier. With loved ones, it’s especially important for you to share personal philosophies and beliefs, as well as to give yourself and others emotional space.
Libra
Now is a strong time for putting effort into work and professional goals, dear Libra. You feel equipped to take on a challenge, particularly this morning. A partner or special friend might come through for you today. The Moon continues to encourage taking on many projects and entertaining a variety of ideas until mid-afternoon when it moves into your sector of home and family. Getting comfortable becomes an emotional need. Also today, a new cycle begins that runs until mid-October and stimulates special attention to your inner longings, desires, and needs. You may be seeking richer, warmer connections now, and your approach to love and care tends to be intense. The more subtle elements of your relationships and interactions are especially important to you now. On some level, you may be attracted to crises or intense emotional experiences during this cycle, as you derive more satisfaction from making profound changes and transformations rather than staying within your usual comfort zone.
Scorpio
You are ready to take on virtually any challenge today, dear Scorpio. Your confidence is natural, not over-blown, and you’re happy to move at your own pace. While you may be feeling freer, lighter, and more forward-looking, you are bravely facing any deeper issues that need to settling as well. New insights into your relationship needs or a changing attitude towards love can emerge. This is a time for fruitful, exciting connections. Also today, a cycle begins that brings warm, creative, and encouraging energy to your one-on-one relationships. Running until mid-October, this influence is strong for mediating, negotiating, and putting yourself in another’s shoes. You have the ability to improve and nurture your partnerships, and perhaps even assist others to enhance their relationships as well. While you should keep an eye out for a tendency to over-identify with how well you get along with others, this can be an ideal cycle in which to understand a partner and work on growing a relationship.
Sagittarius
The day is powerful for emotional bravery, intuitive faculties, and intimate relationships, dear Sagittarius. Bonding with family and loved ones can occur through shared activities. Generally speaking, people only see what they are prepared to confront, and today is good for this kind of self-discovery. Romantic relationships can also benefit from this kind of open-hearted approach. The Moon continues to push your emotions to the surface while it travels through your sign until mid-afternoon, after which there is less urgency to take care of your emotional needs. Also today, a cycle begins that promotes attention to work and health matters, and it runs until mid-October. You are more inclined to turn to work, chores, and health routines for sustenance and emotional nourishment during this period. Filling your day-to-day duties and nurturing a routine leave you feeling accomplished, healthy, and fulfilled. You’re also likely to seek emotional reward through helping others, and you’re particularly attentive to your body’s needs.
Capricorn
The morning brings good energy for communicating, connecting, networking, learning, and taking care of business, dear Capricorn. You can learn much from casual conversations, and you’re particularly open to hearing others’ viewpoints. You might find a solution to a problem that has previously left you stumped. The Moon continues its transit of your hidden sector until mid-afternoon when it enters your sign and marks the beginning of a lunar cycle. As every new beginning is in many ways defined by the energy of the moment of its birth, aim for a positive attitude now. Also today, a cycle begins that emphasizes creating, sharing, and listening to your heart in emotionally satisfying ways. Lasting until mid-October, it’s a cycle in which you bring more creativity, flair, and room for self-expression to your life, and these things help you feel nourished, satisfied, and healed. There can be warmer, fuzzier feelings in a romantic relationship for some of you.
Aquarius
You can feel ready to tackle life with a new game plan today, dear Aquarius. You may be enjoying a stronger sense of purpose that fuels energy levels. Ambition increases in comfortable ways, and you’re more willing to put ideas into motion or take action on important matters to overcome obstacles. It’s a good time for attention to practical affairs, largely because you’re less likely to have the blinders on when it comes to problem areas, and you’re seeing financial and work matters more clearly.

Pisces
You have creative flair today, dear Pisces, and while you’re often quite content to flow along with the action around you, today you’re more interested in taking the lead and getting things done independently. Even so, you’re in good form on the level of personal appeal. In fact, others might thoroughly enjoy your more confident, take-charge approach today. Outside pressures tend to release today — you’re answering to your natural rhythms. Additionally, a new cycle begins that brings warm, encouraging energy to your communications, studies, and relationships with classmates or siblings. This influence is with you until mid-October and enhances your ability to communicate with compassion and effectiveness, as well as to listen and intuit what others may need. You are taking more interest in others’ lives. You might express your affection by teaching, mentoring, and otherwise supporting others, particularly with knowledge and advice. You might also frequently find yourself in the position of advisor or mediator during this cycle. Learning new things and pursuing personal interests make you happy at this time.
